It doesn't help him.

He needs to have a huge PS and this won't help.

According to an article on AFL.com:

He will undergo surgery on the shoulder this week and is expected to be ready for the start of pre-season.

Melbourne football manager Josh Mahoney revealed on melbournefc.com.au that Morton had been managing a shoulder injury for the past few months.

"Unfortunately, Cale had another episode on the weekend, which has caused further damage," Mahoney said.

So maybe he was going to be safe anyway.

    This:

    I did not jeer. And i wasn't aware that morton was injured. I thought everyone was jeering simply because Morton was subbed out of the game fairly early in the game, which I thought was pretty funny. Those that didn't hear the jeers, probably saw the injury, and for those that heard the jeers (like me) they probably didn't see the injury.

    sounds very much like backpedalling, when one goes in with this:

    I was there and people did jeer but I didn't really mind it to be honest. I know it's not the right thing to do and I didn't jeer myself but Morton doesn't deserve to be pulling on the melbourne jumper and he should be delisted at the end of the year. If a simple jeer gets through to the melbourne footy club that we don't appreciate them botching up our draft picks then so be it. He is our whipping boy for a reason!

    and everybody reacts like most normal people would.

    I wish him well, hope he has a fantastic recovery and a great pre season on his way to a reviving his career in 2013.

    and I honestly wish I could share your optimism.

    Just confirms what I think was already pretty obvious (that he'd be at the club next year).

    Some of our supporters really make me question humanity.

    FFS, injured or not, any player who goes out there and risks their well being to represent our club, deserves a level of respect.

    If we are happy to see our own fail, then we are a pathetic bunch and don't deserve success.

    der.... he is contracted..

    If I even bothered to go to the footy at the moment i would jeer Morton, just as i would jeer any player who fails to understand the fundamentals of the game. The sad thing is he'll still be playing his insipid brand of football for us in 5 years time. DELIST NOW TO AVOiD FURTHER PAIN

    Thanks for that.

    You should put that in a Hero-gram or whatever they are called...

    Well there's plenty of posters outing themselves as d/heads in this thread. Obviously they weren't told by mummy: "if you haven't got anything nice to say, don't say it at all..."

    The lazy [censored] should've at least taught them "it is better to have others think of you as a fool than air your opinions & remove all doubt."

    Geeez let's all get off our high horses. Never booed a injured Melbourne player and never will but all Freak did was share an honest opinion. FWIW I wish Cale all the best at another club.

    No. He showed really poor taste for all the reasons that many other posters have brought up in this thread.

    FWIW Cale is contracted in '13 and, given his shoulder injury, is unlikely to be sought after during trade time

    Well, that would be a lovely sentiment...

    ...had Cale signed with another club.

    The guy will be a Demon in 2013.

    Well Freak you certainly covered yourself in glory son didn't you....

    Yes wyl

    He has.

    Must be me but Demonland is depressing the crap out of me tonight.

    Being negative is natural in our current position

    But the vitriol from some people leaves me in dismay.

    Tomorrow I hope will be better.

    Goodnight.

    I will just have to keep my opinions to myself, at least for now.

    What do we do with this kid now?

    Im not bashing him, I just dont actually know what the club will / can do.

    He is injured, had another stinker of a year but is contracted for another year.

    Do we leave him to rot at casey or do we seek a trade?

    Or could he get on the juice, get massive and start smashing blokes?

  • Quote

    Like they do at Vic Markets. When you buy tomatoes they throw in a coupla dodgy ones that you don't discover till you get home.

    We can package Cale up with Sylvia and Davey. Maybe they won't notice.

    here's hoping.

    Lol not sure he has that in him. Maybe they can pay Jake King to beat him senseless until he starts to fight back?

  • Quote

    Contracted for 2013.

    Very doubtful that he could be traded.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
